The wheels of justice are turning slowly, too slowly for my liking. Something must be done NOW...and by "NOW" I mean yesterday...to bring down Heidi Diaz/Kimmer and her evil empire, Kimkins.BamaGal made this remarkable post yesterday on LCF. It is a clarion call for help from you all...

"I do not want to step on anyones toes here....BUT

Time to squash everything and move on.

As we know from reading the court papers Heidi is still having people sign up. The only way to guarantee the closing of the site is through the federal channels. Even WHEN Heidi loses the class action lawsuit---she can still run the site and sign up more unsuspecting people.

IC3's mission is to serve as a vehicle to receive, develop, and refer criminal complaints regarding the rapidly expanding arena of cyber crime. The IC3 gives the victims of cyber crime a convenient and easy-to-use reporting mechanism that alerts authorities of suspected criminal or civil violations. For law enforcement and regulatory agencies at the federal, state, local and international level, IC3 provides a central referral mechanism for complaints involving Internet related crimes.

it does not take much of your time to file this report--it is very easily donein my opinion---this is the most important thing we can do right now---

ConsumerAffairs.comTo report any type of consumer fraud or scamsComplaint Form

If you have not contacted these agencies---my first question isWHY THE SAM HILL NOT????

no offense ladies and gents---but the time spent he say she say back and forth could be better put to use

no, I am no discounting anyones feelings, nor do I wish to ruffle any feathers---I just want to see some action being done instead of just paying lip service to bringing Heidi and her minions to justice....

"Awesome Post, Bama! Thank you for helping us bring things back into focus.

Remember folks, that even the unintentional diversions that come along from time to time are only helping Heidi by distracting us. Let's keep our eye on our goals here. Yes, we have come along way with seeing the Lawsuit becoming a reality, but we aren't done yet!

You DO still want to see the 404 Page Not Found error message when you type in Kimkins.com, don't you?

If so, we've still got plenty of work to do. So, let's roll up our sleeves and get to it!

Take a look at the list that BamaGal just posted. Start at the top and work down, start at the bottom and work up, or just pick what looks easiest to you to do first, but DO something on that list today. And then do something tomorrow and the next day and so on. There is still so much to be done.

After you have done it, talk to two like minded friends and encourage them to do it as well. The more of us that file reports, the more quickly things will happen. Remember, it IS the squeaky wheel that gets the grease.

If it has been a while since you contacted the Attorney General for instance, please feel free to send them a follow up email asking for a progress report.

Don't be shy about this. We can't afford to be. The longer we are silent, the more people that get sucked into this scam, the more likely they are to develop eating disorders, the more likely that the story that Medusa shared with us will become reality for more people over at Kimkins.

Don't rely on everyone else to file the reports. Don't think that your voice doesn't count. If everyone felt that way, nothing would get done. Your voice DOES count. So please step up and make yourself heard.

Imagine if it were your daughter (or sister, or mother, or niece, or cousin, or best friend) who was the next person to sign up for Kimkins, and they didn't know about it being dangerous because you didn't report it.

If you were moved by the recent posts on Medusa's blog, imagine if it was someone in your family being discussed there. How would that make you feel?

I have a 15 year old daughter who is "watching her weight" like many of her friends in high school. I am fighting this fight for her, and for every other daughter who may be tempted to go to the extremes of Kimkins. I don't want to hear about any more people who have been hurt by Kimkins. I want to do what I can to help spread the word, to warn people about the dangers of the Kimkins Diet.

I never followed the Kimkins Diet. I never joined the Kimkins.com site. I can't join the Kimkins Class Action Lawsuit. But I can make myself heard.

I can speak up for the victims. I can alert the proper authorities. I can tell others about it. I can encourage you to do the same.

Don't discount your power to effect change.

We CAN make a difference: One IC3 report at a time; One letter to the Attorney General at a time; One Complaint Form at a time.

Please make yourself heard."

And this in response to WildAngel6 from MomToEli on LCF:

"This is so exactly right!

This one is from my dh: One caution, though ... be sure when you submit a report that is designed for victims that you ARE one, and just knowing about her doesn't qualify. We don't want the legitimate victims to get drowned out and shoved aside because they get covered up with reports from non-victims.

That said, there that leaves LOTS of places for concerned citizens ... especially the AG office of your state. They are responsible to look out for the welfare of the citizens of their states, so they ARE interested."

PLEASE, I urge everyone reading this blog post to step up to the plate and contact these agencies and offices.
